Ikr, aha. He needed to die honestly. Most of us figured Old Man Yama would die so we needed another significant death. Looks like Kenpachi will be alright like I figured since he wasn't on the list for special treatment...he's too badass.

Awesome chapter. I am enjoying the new characters, specially Unohana's master and the lady with that skeleton hands.
The leader of the Squad 0 is nice as well. And I wonder who is the character that said "Hello" in the end.

Regarding Byakuya, we all know he won't die, but I hope Kubo doesn't make him a central character in this arc again.

So the fat woman was Hikifune. Great. It seems that most of the other characters were surprised by the Royal Guard, but I loved that they had different personalities. I thought they were going to be arrogant, but two of them seem nice enough so far. But I can't be the only one who sees similarities between that Senshumaru Shutara character and Nnoitra; both have that crescent moon thing on the back of their heads and both can grow multiple arms.

Didn't know the first character, but she does remind me of Nnoitra.Ohwait, that was her name

I find it interesting that she seemed to be a former 12th Squad Captain too with her comment on how it's easier to break in compared to her days. Which means that we have two woman who were on 12th Squad and are now Royal Guards.

I thought they knew about the 5 war potentials when they mentioned the 5 targets. But Kenpachi wasn't there.

These new people disturb me a way I've never been disturbed before...the bearded guy seems fine to me though. The guy with the big hair and the fat lady are probably the two that disturb me the most. The one with a bunch of arms seems alright to me I guess, she's pretty weird which I like but...those trumpets and that, so weird, she wasn't even close to what I was expecting. Then there's that other guy who didn't say anything. I'll probably never learn their names

I'm actually glad that Unohana was dragged by what I assume was her former teacher. She really should have taken charge and participated in the fight against the Vandenreich. Soi Fon was dragged too, which is getting to be annoying. She's constantly speaking the truth, yet others are always trying to keep her quiet.

I think unohana already had formidable fighting ability prior to that guy teaching her anything. He probably taught her how to heal after the original 13 squads wanted to "atone for their sins" and unohana just didn't want to fight anymore. I doubt he's her complete superior, more like her healing superior, which is why he told her she's more suited for combat.

Mmm. Gotta agree with Shinji, was expecting better personalities from the Zero Squad members. On the other hand, the relationship between that hair-do guy and Unohana looks interesting, especially concerning Byakuya's healing. Seem like the older captains know there's more to it then that. Also enjoyed Soifon acting childish again. Pretty good chapter.

A soul that cannot be saved drifts and disappears,
In the instant it vanishes, it shines faintly,
Now, it creates a night with a full moon.

Well, according to the Chinese translation, she is a 'he' indeed... She seems to be based on Asura as Nnoitra and if I recall correctly, there aren't female Asuras.
Also, her surname "Senshumaru"... Maru is used for only males.

Anyway, calling Shutara as 'he' would be weird, so I'll keep with the 'she'.

That only applies to given names. Surnames aren't chosen. When a woman marries a man they usually take their surname so I'm banking on that being their given name such as Sesshomaru, Orochimaru, Shikamaru, Konohamaru and so on.

Am i the only one who thinks that the Zero Division members were designed badly?

They look weird, but in this chapter it became clear Kubo did it intentionally.

Senshumaru is actually her/his given name. The scanlator used the Western order.

The kanji order (修多羅 千手丸) is "Shutara Senshumaru", so Senshumaru is the given name.

Noooo, I wanted Senshumaru to be a girl so that I could ship her with Soi Fon the Royal Guard would have two female members and three male members. That would have been a nice balance in my opinion. But now it's like we have another Yumichika. I'm depressed.
